    $171 for dogs ear infection. Highly overpriced mediocre service. Also wanted me to pay for a follow up which was not included in the $171.

You will do well to call and make an appointment instead of going in as a walk-in. Check their website. It is more efficient for both you and them. Dr. Gina is very meticulous and compassionate. I wish I could show you a picture of an emaciated, sick, half-blind, frightened and lost male cat with ribs and backbone showing...and another picture of what he looks like a few weeks later. He is healing and getting lots of love with wonderful medical care. Thank you everyone at Safe Harbor.

    I have been bringing my dog since she was a puppy to this office. She had seizures when she was 6…read moremonths old, and after that happened, they were too busy to see her before the weekend. Fast forward, she is now 5 years old, and she had seizures over the weekend. I had taken her to the emergency vet on Sunday and called their office first thing Monday morning- they couldn't see her until Tuesday. We went Tuesday and was advised to stop medicine from the er doc. I was told "she should be back to her normal self" by Thursday- without any real evaluation or anything. I was told if she had another episode she would need to start seizure meds immediately.The next day, she had another episode , I called to get an appointment and was told it wouldn't be until 2 days later. Instead, I took her to the er vet again- where she spent the night and was referred to a specialist immediately. I almost lost her on Thursday , instead of her being "back to herself". Additionally, she was diagnosed with Addisons disease and it wasn't epilepsy or brain related at all. The lack of urgency , care or thoroughness -- I will never take my dog back and will always refer against this office.

    I brought my 13-year-old beagle to Animal Hospital of Pensacola after her coughing suddenly…read moreworsened into heavy panting and uncontrollable coughing. Given her age and history of a collapsed trachea, I was extremely concerned and called to ask if she could be seen sooner than her scheduled 3:30 PM appointment. I was told to bring her in immediately as an emergency and was given instructions to park in the back so they could bring her in separately. We arrived at 12:37 PM. A staff member came out, reviewed videos of her breathing, and asked me to send them to the office. Shortly after, I was told they wanted to begin with X-rays, which I agreed to. My dog was taken inside around 12:50 PM. From that point on, communication was extremely poor. By 1:54 PM, after hearing nothing, I reached out for an update. At 2:02 PM, I was told the technician had gone to lunch and that I would hear something in about 30 minutes. The only information provided was that my dog was "stable in a crate." No explanation of her condition, no reassurance beyond that. At 2:25 PM, I was finally told her X-rays were clear and that we were waiting for a room. I requested my dog be brought back to me while we waited, which they did. At 3:03 PM, I called again for a status update and was then told that since her original appointment time was 3:30 PM, we would have to wait until then to see the doctor--even though I had been told to come in early for an emergency visit. This was the first time anyone clearly explained that she was not being treated as an emergency. Had this been communicated earlier, I would have gladly paid for the X-rays and returned at the scheduled time. Instead, I sat in the parking lot for over 2.5 hours with little to no information about my senior dog's condition. We were not called back until 3:50 PM. To be fair, the veterinarian, Diana Heath, was thorough when reviewing the X-rays, which I appreciated. However, when I expressed concerns about the lack of communication and how stressful the situation had been, the response felt dismissive and lacked empathy. The issue here was not the wait--it was the complete lack of communication and transparency during a very stressful situation. When a pet owner hands over a senior dog in respiratory distress, basic updates and reassurance should be the standard. Based on this experience, I will not be returning and will be seeking care elsewhere.

    EMERGENCY TREATMENT! We took our 15 year old mini dachshund…read moreto Pensacola Animal Hospital on Sunday, November 9th. We are camping at Gulf State Park Alabama and he got a sand spur stuck under the back of his tongue while trying to get it out of his paw. He is old and very sensitive and will not let me take them out. He stopped eating and drinking and we were concerned he would become dehydrated so we called local vets and they suggested PSA as they were open on a Sunday. I called Sunday morning and they got us in an hour after I called. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by the staff and checked in. We did have to wait a few minutes past our appointment time, but they were evidently busy and when they took us back they apologized for the wait. The vet technician that initially took Simon's information when we were in the exam room was very kind and I told her my dog was not tolerant of vets and we usually had to put a cone on him. She informed me that Dr. Hinton was very good with all animals even testy ones but brought a cone in just in case we needed it. When Dr. K. Hinton came in with the vet tech a few minutes later he and she both got down on the floor to make Simon feel comfortable he was able to examine him sitting on the floor but when he tried to get into his mouth, Simon turned nasty. We did not have to put a cone on Simon, and it was probably a more thorough evaluation than Simon has had at any vet in many years. They ended up taking him in the back and giving him sedation to be able to take the sandspur out which was embedded under his tongue. They gave us some antibiotics and told me I should use the pain medication I had on us in case he needed it. The whole visit including the medication was $165 which we thought was a deal considering the emergency of the situation, the last minute appointment and the kindness of the entire staff in addition to the medication a very thorough report was written regarding Simon, including a heart murmur that the doctor heard. The clinic called us a day or two later to check on Simon, which was very kind and professional. If we were permanent residence in this area, we would definitely return to Pensacola animal Hospital. I would highly recommend them to anyone requiring animal services.

    I strongly do not recommend this facility. During my dog's stay, another dog became aggressive…read moretoward him - an incident for which there is video evidence. Despite having time to intervene, the staff failed to separate the dogs, resulting in my dog defending himself. I am now being held responsible for the other dog's veterinary bill, which is deeply unfair and unacceptable given the circumstances and poor supervision. In addition, my dog returned home with kennel cough, indicating inadequate health protocols. I urge fellow pet owners to consider alternative day camp & boarding options where animals are properly monitored and cared for. EDITED TO ADD: Be warned that the owner will use the signed waiver, release and indemnification to justify the fact that their staff does not monitor the dogs appropriately and, apparently, they don't need to. 2nd EDIT: After reading the owner's condescending response on Google, I feel compelled to clarify a few points. My dog reacted to another camper's aggressive behavior, and unfortunately, staff failed to intervene in time to prevent the altercation. I was later informed that the staff member present was formally written up due to their lack of action. It's also important to note that my dog was permitted to return to camp following the incident, and I continued to spend hundreds of dollars at this business--completely unaware that this situation was being held against me. This is bad business.

We had to drag them back in when we returned....stress was written all over them. We knew we had found the right place when we came to Waggy Tails. By the second visit, on the way there they seem to know they were going to see their favorite extended "Family" and all their buddies. Jerry and Honey show them affection and attention when they are there and this makes them comfortable with their surroundings and their accommodations because they are right at home. My babies are social but when being boarded I prefer them to be separated from other dogs due to us being out of the area and you just never know how animals will react to each other in any situation and it's better to be safe than sorry. They accommodate our wishes and I truly believe our pets feel safer with their situation away from us and home with them like this, could be why they didn't feel comfortable at other kennels we took them to, the other kennels we took them to insisted on putting them with other dogs for playtime (even when asked not to) and I think even though they engaged with some, it was intimidating for them. The routine here definitely fits our pets personalities better. Our babies are still happy to see us when we come home, thank goodness. lol! But they also don't crawl out of the door in fear when leaving and they always are happy to come back. If you're looking for a place where you're pets will be as comfortable, safe and as happy as they can be away from home, this is it!
